Lol, when I first read this I was looking for the joke or twisty punch-line. But then read the later thread posts and noticed people were debating it! So realised it must have been intended as a proper question

I'd say there's absolutely no way anything can be sent in a RAND game. Be it a message, gold, items, anything. As all of these are at least against the spirit of the rules (or just flat out against the rules IMO)

But sending gold could be turned into a basic-code way to communicate. How about sending the following gold amounts to your neighbour on the same turn in separate instalments

I do regularly use the send items option in RAND games though. (actually during all game types). As sending items, and then cancelling them, is the only sure way to re-arrange un-removable items in your lab. I'm mainly pointing this out for the benefit of those who didn't know about this work-around for organising your lab screen
